Today we celebrate the book birthday of THE WRATH OF THE RAIN GOD, the first book in the Legendarios Chapter Book series by Karla Arenas Valenti, illustrated by Vanessa Morales. We sat down with Musa Karla Arenas Valenti to learn more about the inspiration behind this series.
Legendarios is an action-packed chapter book series inspired by Mexican mythology that follows twins, Emma and Martín, whose magical book of legends transports them to incredible places! It's a little bit of Magic Tree House meets Heroes in Training, with a very Mexican twist. In the first book, Emma and Martín are swept into a legend where they encounter Tlaloc, the god of rain. Tlaloc is wrathful because his lightning bolt has been stolen, and his rage is manifesting as a torrential downpour over the ancient city of Texcoco. The rain won’t stop until the lightning bolt has been returned, so Emma and Martín (and a new friend, Nelli) set out to recover it and save Nelli's village. Intrigued? Read more below...
